Summary:
On certain motorcycles, at lower temperatures, wiring within the
anti-theft control unit may press against the fuel pump relay. The fuel
pump relay contacts could open, interrupting the fuel supply to the
engine, resulting in stalling.

Consequence:
if stalling were to occur, the driver would be unable to maintain speed
or accelerate, increasing the risk of a crash.

Remedy:
dealers will inspect and, if necessary, replace the anti-theft control
unit. The recall is expected to begin during October 2004. Customers
should contact bmw at 1-800-831-1117.
